HISTORY OF RINPCC

The Raffles Institution National Police Cadet Corps had its roots even as early as 1965. In 1959, the corps was started first on an experimental basis. Later on, in 1961, there was a Police Cadet Corps (P.C.C.) Ordinance, that allowed Schools to set up P.C.C. units.

By 1965, there was some idea of setting up a unit in Raffles Institution and by January 1966, the first ever R.I.P.C.C. unit in RI was established.

Back in those days, the cadets learnt a variety of important skills, for example, Foot-Drills, Law, First Aid, Unarmed Combat etc.

In the 1970s, the newly formed unit was also no stranger to championship trophies, thus continuing the Rafflesian tradition of glory. In the 1970s, it took part in many competitions, like Foot-Drill, Revolver Shooting etc. and won many of these competitions, also including Best Unit several times.
